the midwest is a tar pit
it seems like no one ever really finds a way out
indiana is a tar pit
at this point, i can feel it flowing into my mouth

but i won't die here!
i refuse to!
i won't let it steal my youth

i had one thing
keeping me here
and now she's gone, too

i hope she's resting peacefully
i hope she's having better dreams than me

i dial her number without thinking
in the morning as i turn on the tv

but i don't think she's ever answering
i don't think she's ever answering

'cause the midwest is a tar pit
i miss her more like everyday
indiana is a tar pit
why does it take the things that i love away?

Lyrics

(verse 1)
shes sittin there
with a broken mind
doing all those things to get her through the night
her family loves her so but they don't show it right
she'll go into a little door and be just fine
i think this place is better for me she says
it's like something from  a fantasy she says

(verse 2)
little darling 
there's just one more thing
take this sewing needle and do this for me
i promise if you do this i will set you free
do you want your buttons red, yellow, or green
i don't think i can handle this she says
i think i'll go and get some rest she says

(hook)
put on your button eyes (x2)

(verse 3)
now shes stuck here in the dark
callin out for help screamin from the heart
there was nothing we
could have done 
she made her choice
i just wanted a good life
now i can see with my eyes

Button Eyes (Prod. By Samurai Guru)

Atlas - Anxious (ft. Limbo)- Audio Edit

produced by me, featuring great vocals from @smrtdeath

i don't know
where i am
i'm searching for something
to replace your hand and

i don't know
where you went
i just want you back
in my arms again

fix this (feat. smrtdeath)

atlas - Well-Rested

cover photo taken by mads

chain smoke the hunger away
only eating one meal a day
on a good day, but the good days
will never come

i got so used to loss
that is sort of became part of me
i lose myself in my head
i lose my patience in the agony

i lost my youth in the fallout
of somebody else

who took advantage of trust
and left me hating myself

it's always there in my dreams
i put myself through your hell

why did you do those things to me?

sit down on the side of my bed
and contemplate the endless nothing sat inside of my head
it's such a slow burn, but the candle
is always lit

i got so used to fear
it learned to manifest in me
i fear the ending of it all
i fear your reckless apathy

i fear that everything's boring
and nothing will help

it's like it's all in a cycle
my dwindling health

i feel the breath of the reaper
on the side of my neck

why do i still get out of bed?
